Good to see you posting Duncan. I will be there with 3 Glasgow buddies.

Acoustic bit worked really well great breakdowns etc; electric was unbelievable; the versions of Midnight Blues, Mountain & John Henry were brilliant tbh all the live versions were incredible; was 2nd row on 1st balcony far right and sound was great; got the setlist from sound guy at the end; truly brilliant show
Also the view from balcony was great a wee bit far away but actually got perfect view and could see Joe picking every note; what a player!
Did a nice wee bit of banter just before the encore which was nice touch ; Derek was on good form and whole show; lights; sounds & production was brilliant

Thanks for the review.
Sounds like a good time was had by all.
Great set list.
Lester..
The show was superb i was 6 rows from the front and Joe was on Fire along with the rest of the band. Great setlist as well.
Show was amazing. Saw him last year in Glasgow at the concert hall and this show contrasted nicely with a more traditional venue and starting off with an acoustic set that felt quite intimate. Great sound quality (5th row from the front).
Favourite song was probably Someday after a while....amazing guitar tone from his signature ES-335 in metallic red which he only used for that song.
Hi c.tinning and welcome to the forum. Why not give us an introduction? Anyhow welcome. 
Great set, sixth time we've seen him - five in Scotland now (one with BCC) and made it to the Albert Hall earlier this year. Fifth row from the front last night, best sound I've ever heard from the whole band.
Hi Donald and welcome to the forum. From your other posts you are obviously a player of fine guitars. Why not tell us a brief bit about yourself on the introductions thread. If not, welcome anyway and contribute when you feel like it. This is a good friendly crowd on here. Some real gear heads also.
The quality of the sound last night in Edinburgh was far superior to Aberdeen and made it a different show for me, even though it was the same set list. And isn't the start of Dust Bowl similar to the start of Money for Nothing by Dire Staits?
A very enthusiastic 3,000 Edinburgh crowd - but where are they when "smaller" blues rock bands need their support?

So that was my 6th show by Joe. I enjoyed the solo set for the first time. Jelly Roll was credited to John Martyn on the Sloe Gin album so I'm not sure while Charles Mingus is now credited. The change over to the electric set was seemless and there was a good sound balance out on the stalls. I was on the 10th row. Someday After A While (acutually a Buddy Guy) song was one of the standouts and Mignight Blues was also superb. Generally I prefer Joe's bluesier songs and on the whole the show was too rocky for my tastes these days. I also prefer the warmer atmosphere of smaller shows. I think many would not normally attend blues / rock shows as they see them as too bluesy, so I'm probably in the minority. However it was an impressive performance by Joe and it was good to see Derek get a good degree of solo playing time in the set. Interestingly I was sat beside two guys from the North East of England and we spoke about Alan Nimmo and later I spotted his brother Stevie was at the show. Nice to go to a big gig, but I'll not miss the cramped seats at my next show (Gerry Jablonski on Friday).
